Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Steamer

    Fill a pot with 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steamer basket over the pot, making sure it doesn't touch the water.

  2. 2

    Clean the Oysters

    Rinse the fresh oysters under cold running water to remove any sand or debris. Scrub the shells with a brush if necessary.

  3. 3

    Steam the Oysters

    Place the cleaned oysters in the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 5-7 minutes or until the oysters open up.

  4. 4

    Prepare the Garlic Butter

    While the oysters are steaming, melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in chopped parsley and season with salt and black pepper.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the oysters are done, carefully remove them from the steamer. Serve with lemon wedges and drizzle the garlic butter over the oysters.
